If it doesn't power on, make sure all the cables within the computer are attached, if it doesn't turn on still after that, the reset/power cables could be in the wrong slot, but if it powered on before this probably isn't the case.I'd say the power supply could be blown, you may have to replace the power supply, as well as the motherboard possibly. When one goes, the other usually goes as well, but that's not always the case.

The most common way that we know on how to reset or clear the BIOS password is to physically remove the power from the computer by disconnecting the power plug and then removing the Cmos battery for 30 minutes from the motherboard. Another way is to reset the clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard itself. Both of the 2 methods mentioned works because most motherboards use a battery to sustain the BIOS/CMOS settings for the motherboards PROM chip. So by cutting off cmos the battery power, the BIOS/CMOS settings will be erased.

cmos battery Under the keyboard or bottom of laptop - If you are working on a laptop computer the location of the dipswitch (almost never a jumper) can be under the keyboard or on the bottom of the laptop in a compartment such as the memory compartment.

try renewing the driver or replacing it. Find the manufacturer name for the device and go to their website support center to get a new driver and install it.

First step is to check if your CD-RW drive is being recognized in the System BIOS (basic input/output system).
To do this, look for a hotkey listed on the first screen when you turn the PC on. Usually it's F1, F8, F9, F10, DEL, or ESC.
Once in the BIOS, go to 'System Information' to see your CD-RW drive's make/model.
If you see your Hard Disk there, but not your CD-RW drive, then your CD-RW Drive has probably died.
If you can see your CD-RW Drive there, then you need to restart your Computer with the help of a Bootable XP Disk in DOS mode with CD-ROM support. If your CD-RW drive letter is E (which is normally the case)type the following in DOS Prompt:
e: (hit ENTER)
dir (hit ENTER)

You should be able to see the contents (assuming e: was your CD-RW Drive to begin with)

If you can see the contents or the drive, then restart your PC normally and your CD-RW Drive should should be back on your 'My Computer'

If not, you need to go to FLASH your BIOS. This is how you do it:
Go to your computer manufacturer's website (Dell/HP/LG etc.), Search for downloads section. If you're asked for the model of your computer - right-click on My Computer (on your desktop or in the Start menu). and you will find it.
The BIOS will be an executable file (ending in .exe). There should be instructions on the website on how to install the BIOS. Run the BIOS file by double-clicking on it, the program will take your system down and reboot, installing the newer BIOS version.

Hi there

Have you tried stopping the service RPC by going into services.msc..

You have an option that should help you. You can find 2 or 3 RPC (Remote Procedure Call)... Just get into it and click on the tab RECOVERY and choose Take no action for all the 3 options.. Click on apply and ok..

Let me know is this information is helpful..

You can download the manual Here.

Look for the topic on how to open the panel. Follow the pins on the motherboard to connect your wirings..

Try starting it in Safe Mode (hit F8 key at boot-up). If you see the error "Page_Fault_in_nonpaged_Area stop", you have bad memory usually. If you have 2 memory modules installed, remove one and reboot. If you get the error, remove that memory module and install the other. If it boots cleanly, you have a bad memory module.

Does it hang on a certain program? Usually they'll be a square box on the screen with the information about the program, at the bottom of the box it'll give a choise of End Program or Cancel. If this is so email me back and I can give you the instructions about editing the registry, if this is not so then we need to proceed farther to find out what program Windows is hanging on.

this is a internal problem with the display. you need repair

Hi Robert,

Have you checked to see that there is no cabling of any sort in your machine that may be brushing with the side panel when it is closed? I'm thinking maybe a GRND pin from either the front panel connectors or a USB connector but this is only a guess. I am unsure why a panel could stop it turning on! Let me know if its resolved! :o)
